As a Lebanese myself, I can testify that this sandwich tastes even better than it looks. One thing you left out is fries... Chicken shawarma goes amazingly well with fries inside this sandwich and on the side. Also, chicken portions are usually a bit less than what you put in each sandwich to make it easier to wrap. One last technique to achieve the classic shawarma texture is leaving the boneless thighs unchopped while cooking and then stacking them on top of each other and slicing all the way. Props to the chef for explaining everything so finely!
Wow I just found your channel and was so grateful to see you list proper gram measurements instead of those silly cup measurements. I love precise measurements when cooking because it just makes things easier for me ! And now you've uploaded a shawarma recipe too, so I'm going to try making shawarma for the first time ever using your recipe. I'm so excited! 🤩
Seriously you won’t go wrong following Chef Jack’s recipes. I’ve made many and they always turn out perfect, well near perfect as I’m not a chef. Jack also shows us how to do everything on camera it’s not all pre cut up etc. He is my go to guy for meals. My iPad is in the kitchen with me to follow along.
@@ChefJackOvens yess!! 💯 although I sometimes feel I kinda get judged by it but idc, I want it to turn out perfect everytime, especially when I have guests! btw u got a new subscriber 🤭
@@sheeshanotmaa7702 good to know. You will enjoy these recipes by Chef Jack. He’s my go to guy for the most delicious and fairly easy recipes( cause he helps make it easier) I have never had a bad result if I follow the recipe as is. I do sometimes swap between breast or thigh for some recipes, either because what I might already have or what’s more economical but I pretty much follow along with Chef in the kitchen with me. I pause at each step. It’s made me a better cook having Chef Jack’s help, without him even knowing that’s what I do. Good luck enjoy the recipes and don’t forget to just Dig In
Hi! Been following your channel lazily for a while and I'm seriously impressed the way you managed to up your chef game. This looks delicious and I'm sure we will make it soon. Keep up the good work!
This is the pan I use hexclad.com.au/products/14-hexclad-hybrid-pan?_gl=1*w1s8x3*_up*MQ..&gclid=CjwKCAjw5v2wBhBrEiwAXDDoJdLhVYSCBfz-ukXa9HnOyQlHrYTqWbrhKCYtfKQD3akbqevLby-bPhoCMeIQAvD_BwE
My fav part was the toum over the final wrap .....love...love...love this recipe...just finished my dinner ,,,but i know i wouldn't mind half of that shawarma 😋😀😍😍
Adding extra toum on top is an actual thing that shawarma shops do! At least syrian ones since I'm syrian, also fun fact if anyone doesn't know, toum (or thoum) literally means garlic in arabic
Chicken shawarma is one of our FAVS! The spice combination is just amazing, and like you said there are so many variations for accompaniments with the fillings. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for your recipe, Chef! I finally tried it out (first time I made something from your channel) and even froze a portion. Everyone ate it and it was delicious ☺️I’m already excited for the weekend when I’ll make shawarma again without much work because I’ve already got my marinated chicken in the freezer-just need to take it out. Thanks again for your recipes and your precise measurements, they really help me a lot!🫡🙏 (Btw I have to admit, though, when I tasted the marinade, I was really worried because it had a lot of acidity from the tomato paste, and then on top of that, so much lemon juice. I thought my chicken would end up way too sour, but in the end, it wasn’t like that)
Your toum looks great!! I love making toum but it 💔 when my toum breaks. In Lebanon, traditionally shawarma sandwiches have fries in them, but I prefer to leave them out and get an extra helping of toum and the wild pickled cucumbers!! Great touch on toasting the outside - that’s how we do it at my home away from home!
Thanks Chef Jack 🙌 Quick question - I’ve always wanted one of your cutting boards. However, how do you clean it after raw poultry has touched it? I want to get a big board without having to disinfect it in the sink. What did you spray on the surface of the board and does it require a rinse in the sink? and sorry…just one more question - do you have to throw the rag in the wash right after using it on the board? Thank you in advance :)
It’s a pleasure! I rinse it with water and soap, and use a food safe sanitiser. The bottle i used in this video is soap and vinegar which I use whilst cooking then when finished I rinse it all off. If using a cloth on raw meat, discard it after usage or wash it, depending on fabric.
Can I recommend you a breakfast dish that British will definitely love, its basically the Mexican version of beans on toast, “Molletes” traditionally for breakfast but Americans use it for what they call “brunch”, if you like beans on toast this is their spicy cousin.
Ottawa, Canada here. I regularly make donairs (perhaps kebab doner to Aussies?). I'll definitely give this shawarma recipe a go. This looked absolutely delish - and the garlic toum, oh man.
love the recipe sooo muchhh. i think i want to make my kitchen just like yours. gona find out more about how to clean that cutting board bcs mine was a mess
"You're never going to guess what you do after you use it?!?! You clean it." 😂 Love the content Chef, your creamy garlic pasta has become a staple of my household and I'm looking forward to trying this recipe too!
6:12 Is there a link for this pan and lid? I have a birthday coming up and just yesterday my mom was just asking me for a gift idea. I said I couldn't really think of anything, but now that I've seen that beauty, I've decided THAT is what I want! 😂
Happy early birthday to you 🎉 here’s the link to the pan hexclad.com.au/products/14-hexclad-hybrid-pan?_gl=1*w1s8x3*_up*MQ..&gclid=CjwKCAjw5v2wBhBrEiwAXDDoJdLhVYSCBfz-ukXa9HnOyQlHrYTqWbrhKCYtfKQD3akbqevLby-bPhoCMeIQAvD_BwE
Your comment about cleaning the cutting board - have you considered becoming a comedian? You're hilarious. 😂 This dish looks really good. I'm not sure if I'd have the patience to make toum but I absolutely love garlic, so I'm conflicted, haha. Thanks for another amazing recipe.
Another amazing recipe chef.. love all your cooking videos and one of these days I hope to try make this .. but for now I'm gonna go get myself some juicy kebab 🤪😛🤣
Have been following you for a really long time, amazingly simple but delicious recipes. One request, you used to add macros for most recipes, would be great if you could add it for this one as well.
Can you please say what is the wok you used to cook the chicken? The link the description above goes to a different pan. The one you used looks amazing!
Hi Jack, that looks absolutely amazing and definitely another of your recipes I’ll be adding to the list! Where did you get the massive pan from? I want one 😊 Thank you 🙏
Hey Jack, I've just recently discovered your channel but I must say I love all your videos as well as the recipes you're sharing, so thank you for this. Only one thing that stands out to me: (Almost) every video you're sharing has meat in it. Now, I do enjoy eating meat as well, but dont want to do it every day. Is there a chance you could upload some more vegetarian dishes from your cookbook? I'd absolutely love that. Thank you for the great dishes and keep up the good work!
Hey Michael, thank you very much for that. I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel. I do, do a lot of meat dishes and I will start to create more meatless dishes in the near future. 🙌🙌
if you are worried about meat on your cutting board then you are not properly maintaining your cutting board there should always be enough sealant that you never have to worry about it absorbing
As a Lebanese person, i appreciate going the extra mile by trying to get that smoky charred flavor because nobody has a big skewer grill (or 20kg of shawarma) at home 😂 But also, great toum recipe :) Curious to see your take on lamb shawarma w/ taratour sauce !!
There’s not much difference at all to be honest. The more the garlic is crushed, the stronger the flavour. I prefer to use a microplane so I’m not just crushing garlic and creating a nice smooth paste. Also garlic presses can be a pain to clean. Each to their own for this one.
@@ChefJackOvensThanks for answer. I tried making this but it ended being so much sauce that it looked more like a stew in the pan. Still tasted great though 😅 👍

Perfect! Enjoy 😊
Wow…superb recipe, authentic marinade mix. Will definitely try this one, thanks Chef.

Looks delicious and will definitely be saving that toum recipe! 😋
It's so good!

Wow! That looks delish.

Great representation of the greatest sandwich in the world :D
Thank you very much 🙌
I love the wraps and toum my local lebamese reataurant makes. Cant wait to make my own using your recipe! Looks absolutely delicious
That's a phenomenal tip with the charcoal!
It works so well
I could almost smell the charcoal when you lifted the lid of your pan. Looks absolutely delicious!
Such a nice light smoky flavour. The house smelt really nice too
you have some delish recipes! I will be making them.
Yet another great recipe!
Thank you 😋

Looks banging. I bet that taste so good ❤
Can’t wait to try this one!! 👌
Thank you chef, this will be on the menu when my daughter comes to visit.
When you are grating the garlic. Is there a bit of garlic left over so you dont cut your hand or is my technique just wrong?
I've always got a little bit of garlic leftover too, I think that's normal
There’s usually is a tiny bit left. I chop it up and it through for zero waste.
love the recipe sooo muchhh. i think i want to make my kitchen just like yours. gona find out more about how to clean that cutting board bcs mine was a mess

Amazing as always

looks sensational Jack

What do you use to clean the cutting board?
Hi Jack, you are a Wizard this is one of your best chicken dishes. Looks so delicious 😮😅😊. Thank for sharing
Really appreciate it mate! Thank you
This looks amazing, but the toum seems a lot in terms of volume - how long will it keep in the fridge before going bad, would you say?
Thank you 🙏 it will last 1 month in the fridge in an airtight container.

What is the cleaning solution you use for that cutting board wipe? Thank you
Its soap and vinegar
@@ChefJackOvens love it than u, always wonder giant cutting boards how I clean them 🙏
What kind of spray do you use to clean that board?
Vinegar and soap 🙌
I love your obvious enthusiasm at the end, it's nice to see the smile about the huge tasty garlic explosion coming your way 😂
Where can i get that pan that you cooked the chicken in? enjoyed the recipe
He put a link in a previous comment about the pan
By white vinegar do you mean distilled vinegar?
Yep
Please clarify for Toum. In the instructions it says to use olive oil, but in the ingredients it says sunflower or canola oil
Olive or sunflower oil for the chicken and sunflower oil for the toum
How long does the toum last in the fridge?
If stored in a tight container, it will last up to 1 month in the fridge
Awesome 👌
🙌
What do you spray on your wooden board to clean it?
Soap and white vinegar
Love the Sarcasm for the Dumb 🤣 Quality 👏👏👏
😉😉
What’s the flavor difference between using a garlic press and grating it? 🤔
There’s not much difference at all to be honest. The more the garlic is crushed, the stronger the flavour. I prefer to use a microplane so I’m not just crushing garlic and creating a nice smooth paste. Also garlic presses can be a pain to clean. Each to their own for this one.
@@ChefJackOvensThanks for answer. I tried making this but it ended being so much sauce that it looked more like a stew in the pan. Still tasted great though 😅 👍
Love the marinade. Would this work with chicken breast? I'm not sure if you said in the video 😂
What spray do you clean your board with?
It’s a mix of vinegar, water and a bit of soap
@@ChefJackOvens thank you! That's almost what I use. 1 part vinegar 2 parts water and about 2tbs of rubbing alcohol. You're awesome!!
What can I use instead of pickled Lebanese cucumbers? Will usual dill pickles work?
Dill pickles work great
Yummy❤
😋
I got Atomic heart burn just watching this.
Awesome
